Yeah, but it's still his defense, Babich is just running it. Nickel D 70% of the time with fast, undersized players. And year after year it gets exposed when it matters most. And when they have to play man defense, the players we have can't hold up.
Don't get me wrong, McD has a good D that can get you to the playoffs, which we've seen for 7 years. But the secret is out on how to beat him and it happens the same way each year. Time to switch it up and play a new hand, in my opinion.
